Amazing performance. I absolutely disagree with those saying he should stop competing to give others a chance. We accept too much mediocrity in T&T. This should inspire others to do better and better.

I agree, the man perform , no one else was on that level , and in calypso there really is no age limit in competing , guys like chalkdust and them old like road and was still competing and winning year after year . If you want something in life , work hard and achieve it , don't depend on the failures or downfall of others to achieve it.

Is not just the performance, but the lyrical genius of this song. The man paid homage to everyone and everything that is the culture of Trinbago Carnival.

My my my …He is an entertainer look at the dancers down to them was epic…. Choreography was excellent, all entertainers must take a page from the king , don’t rebuke him for taking part … try to come up to his level… once , one does that … and make him drop to 2nd place in any competition…. Only then he can say otherwise … and bow out gracefully… Machel king of all kings keep up the good work and show the younger ones how it is done …. Well done king Machel👑👑👑🇹🇹

In my opinion, his outfit tells excellent story and the lyrics to his song tells more about calypso history. It surely does help in the learning process involving schools and giving more support.

This song is almost a thesis on the evolution of Soca with the story told alongside your own evolution within the art form. What a fantastic rendition lyrically and musically brought to life on stage. Definitely one for the school children to learn to become a classic. Love how you took the ‘ole time’ Kaiso vibe into this mixing in the nuances of what the youth are listening to now and what needs to be done to bring our culture back to the fore. Full circle Machel and this was the perfect song to make this epic transition. On behalf of the future generation and those of us who grew up with you, music educators like myself, THANK YOU!
